Thank you for that information. Sadly I had to return my MSI U120 as the keyboard was defective. Sam's Club had a Dell mini notebook/netbook for $348 and I just bought it. It's really nice as I already have a Dell Inspirion laptop.

That would be the U123G or U123H (I've seen it called one thing in early reviews and another in later reviews; not to be confused with the U123T which has a digital TV tuner). The U123 basic model was released in the US last week, although it's not in wide release (I only know of 3 places that have it, and Amazon isn't one of them). The U123G/H hasn't been released anywhere yet, probably end of May in Asia and a month later or so in the US.

Don't do it. I read a post from Cnet.com that reviewed a Atom 1.6 / 1.8 processor powered netbook with Vista and 1 GB of RAM and it was a slug. If memory serves me right it was a Dell. I have XP Pro on the MSI Wind with 1 GB or RAM and it has worked fine so far. But this is a loaner and I've only had it for 48 hours. So far I very impressed. I'm going to turn it loose in my middle school this week and see how it fairs with students and staff.As for Vista, it would make these little books to slow for their designed purpose of being netbooks. Though I have Vista on my personal laptop and love it, I just think it is too much for them. But someone might find a way to make it work. Don't do it.

Hi. Its really thin and light, no doubt about that. I bought this laptop only because I did not get anything cheap with that thin and light ultrabook look. But, regarding gaming: i have no clue, but this laptop is on the slower side in terms of configuration. Maybe its the processing speed or RAM or its just because of Windows 8. I don't at all like its Speed.

US version N110-12PBK has 2GB RAM max on specs, i did not find one single difference between N110-12PBK and NC10 SE (even the price is identical). It looks N110 will be available for purchase around April 20th in US (it's on pre-order almost on all sites). I'm thinking to buy it, where did you see 1GB max, it could really change my choice.http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/detail/spec.do?group=computersperipherals&type;=mobilecomputing&subtype;=mininotebook&mode;l_cd=NP-N110-KA01USthank youjiri

Everything I've read says you can't upgrade the RAM on the U120. I had just ordered it and haven't received it yet. I hope I won't regret not being able to add RAM. I researched as much as my mind could handle when I ordered this. I liked the light weight and the decent screen size and the brightness. It's all very confusing. Now there is a U120H. I don't know what the H has and why it's different. Better connectivity I've been told. Anyone know what this means? I don't want to have buyer's remorse. Sigh...it's all too much!

Hey, Just noticed your post. I don't own either, but from what I've gleaned from my research, there really is no comparison. The Samsung has a bigger screen, a better processor, and most important a more ergonomic keyboard. The only advantages of the Acer is that it has a more svelt form factor, and is a bit heavier, neither of which are that huge to me. I'm on the fence between the two right now, and believe it or not, I'm leaning towards the Acer. Main reason is price. For all its advantages, I can't justify paying $221 more for a netbook. Last I checked, I can get an Acer 751 (with the 3 cell) for $279, vs. $500 for the NC20. I know the Acer's going to be slow, but I don't believe the NC20 is that much zippier. I'm hoping that the Acer with XP will run reasonably fast enough for limited internet usage and word processing, which is mostly what I need it for. Even if I ad a gig of ram for $30, it's still almost $200 cheaper than the NC20.

The UB2B is a Intel core i3 3240 Dual Core and the UR3D is Intel Core i5 3330 Quad Core. The UB2D is 6gb ram and the UR3D is 8gb ram The Hard Drive on the UB2b is 5400 RPM speed and the Hard Drive in the UR3D is 7200 speed. It would make sense for the UB2B to be 100$ less. Its much more weaker than this PC.

Hi, the VivoBook S500 is my first Asus netbook, so I can't compare it with another model. Sorry

Another question for the "better informed." Has anyone gotten a laptop bag that fits? I need one that also will haul the mouse and ac adapter. I think the 12" are for the 11.6 netbooks. Any suggestions?

Thank you for the helpful information. I guess I will see about getting a cheaper netbook. I looked at a lot of reviews for different ones and they all seem about the same. Do you know which one is the best one to buy? I would like one that has a long battery life.

I agree. I bough the black model and the keyboard is great! Plenty of size. In fact I'm typing this post off of my nb205-210 right now. I prefer the look of this computer over the more expensive -310 version. This model is a no brainer if you don't need wifi. That is why I got this model. You will be happy with this keyboard, works great!

I have no idea. I bought one and it never worked. Sent it back and received another one. It lasted two weeks and it stopped working. I slammed it against a wall and went out and bought my granddaughter an ASUS netbook and she loves it.

My question exactly! This is definitely the notebook/netbook I want to buy, but I can't find it anywhere! I know it's on sale in Canada however.

I bought NB505-N508BL 7 days back. Nice Piece! If you just want to surf internet, check emails, watch movie and listen to music there is no need to upgrade the memory. For better performance one can upgrade the memory to 2gig (DDR3 for new models and DDR2 for older ones). I upgraded to windows 7 pro and 2 gigs memory. My netbook works as good as a laptop. Note: Please don't order memory before you start using the machine, 1 GB DDR3 should be sufficient for basic users.

In newegg.com page details for this netbook says 3.21lbs,ASUS page http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_PC/Eee_PC_1215B/#specifications says 1.45kgs with 6cell battery (3.2 lbs)I think amazon has it wrong

The lines can sometimes be a bit blurred but generally speaking a netbook will; 1) use a low powered Atom processor 2) Have a screen size of 10.1" or smaller (anything larger I would consider it to be more of an "ultraportable") 3) Run Windows XP Home or Windows 7 Starter 4) Lack any form of internal dvd drive. Because of that they're on the whole less expensive than a notebook - ideal for browsing the Internet and running basic tasks away from mains power, not so good at streaming video or playing anything other than basic games.

Unfortunately, this model is NOT full HD; if you look at the specifications, it says that the resolution is 1366 x 768. This is still a nice, premium ultrabook though. Hope that helps!
